Bevor Armour
A Bevor is a metal piece of plate armour that is designed to
protect the neck of the wearer, similar to a Gorget. To protect the
wearer fully this piece of armour would have been wore in
conjunction with a with a Sallet style helmet, and later with
a burgonet, in a form known as a falling buffe.
The Bevor pictured is a fairly common example with a simplistic
design, only a slight uniformed indention placed around the lower
front chest section of the plate. The Bevor has a polished
finish.
